They are tall narrow trees, but they have a very wide, shallow root system, and many of my trees have surface roots over 2" in diameter more than 20' out of the dripline. They are kinda sensitive, though, and get root rot very easily in constant wet. Several norway spruces in my neighborhood died last year, from the bogginess we had here. Honestly, a drain right next to them will probably not show any signs right away, but the trees will probably start to slow down/deteriorate over the next decade. | |
